Background Info: In 1818, Tade Rela was discovered by a European, not knowing that there were already inhabitants on the land. The European perceived the fact that there were natural resources throughout the country such as farmland, timber and other things. That information led the European to go back and tell his people about the land. Soon, the Europeans tried to take over the land and started a war. A man named Michael Jackson Rela became very powerful during the war. He led the people to another state of mind. The war lasted for 8 months and the native Relians won with victory. Several years later, the population of that area increased tremendously. It was time for rules and regulations or some form of government. The people turned right to Michael Jackson Rela. He soon became the leader of the country.

After the top eight delegate are chosen they are put on the national ballots. In Stage A of the final election the top 5 of the candidates in each political party are chosen. Two weeks after the Stage A election there is a Stage B choosing the top 3 candidates from each political party. In Stage C the top contender for presidential election from each political party is chosen. Finally in Stage D the final three from each of the three political parties are up on the ballots yet again for the peoples vote.
Three weeks before the inauguration of the new President the Cutie Committee comes together to vote for their part of the presidential election.
